Description
Take detailed photos with the Sony FE 40mm f/2.5 G for Sony mirrorless cameras. You can easily take this lens with you on a trip thanks to the compact size and light weight. The lens has a fixed 40mm focal length, so you can take macro, landscape, street, and portrait photos with it. You can focus at a 23cm distance from your subject, so you can capture the smallest details. The f/2.5 maximum aperture ensures the lens is relatively light-sensitive. That means you can take photos at dawn or at sunset. The autofocus is quick and silent, so you can record smooth footage without annoying noises. The design can take a hit thanks to the metal casing. The lens is also dustproof and splash proof for taking photos in bad weather.

Also have a Voigtlander 1.2 50mm, compared to this. From f2.5 actually after enough no difference. just a perfect lens to take with you, nice light, options super. Voigt feels much nicer, better aperture click and all, but also much, much heavier. So a good balance between build quality and weight, everything you hold feels good.
